Availability
As a full-time college student, I build my schedule to make sure I have plenty of time to care for pets. I'm available for morning, evening, overnight, and weekend care, and I plan my class schedule around the pets I'm watching whenever possible. During house sitting, I'll stick closely to your pet's normal routine and always communicate if I'll be away for class. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away, while giving you regular updates and peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment
I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs before every booking. Whether your pet needs medication, extra patience, or just lots of cuddles, I'll care for them as if they were my own. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, and keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or litter box care, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I'm experienced caring for dogs of all sizes, senior pets, and pets with medical or mobility needs, and I'll always send photo updates so you know your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

Experienced & Loving Sitter
Pet care experience
I've been caring for pets on and off since 2018 and have years of experience providing dependable, loving care. In addition to pet sitting, I've worked as a nanny since 2019, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, communication skills, and ability to care for others with patience and attention to detail. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, from tiny Yorkies and French Bulldogs to Great Danes and Labrador Retrievers. At home, I have four dogs, so I'm very comfortable managing multiple pets and understanding their individual personalities and needs. I'm also experienced with senior dogs and pets with medical needs, including administering medications, helping dogs with limited mobility, and caring for paralyzed dogs. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply cuddling on the couch, I'll treat them like they're my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing reliable care, regular updates, and lots of love and attention for your furry family member.

Reviews
Maria has taken wonderful care of my cat, Gordito, every time I’ve been out of town. She is responsible, dependable, and cares about the pets she watches. I always had peace of mind knowing Gordito was in such good hands. She kept him happy, well cared for, and gave him plenty of attention. She also texted me daily updates on him which eased my nerves about leaving him. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a pet caregiver!
